City Closes Rec Center After Major Structural Defects

The City of Austin has closed an East Austin recreation center. The Austin American-Statesman reports the 3 year-old center has significant structural problems with the foundation and walls:

Built for $4.3 million and opened in 2008, Turner-Roberts Recreation Center is the newest of Austin's 20 city rec centers. But cracks began appearing in the walls of the gymnasium in 2009 , the first sign of what turned out to be larger flaws.

One of two engineering firms that have assessed the building has said it would take seven months and $2.7 million to repair it, or 10 months and $4.1 million to tear it down and rebuild it

The Statesman reports city officials will decide soon what to do and that the city's begun moving classes held at the center to other facilities.
